even as i was on my way home in my dad's car, i was just watching the sunset. it was kinda bright, there were little clouds, and with the trees blocking, the sunlight was flickering, on and off. at the same time, the song 'Mighty to Save' was playing in my dad's car. the bridge goes like this:
Shine your light and let the whole world see
For the glory of the risen King!
it spoke alot to me. it reminded me that we all should reflect the light of God in our lives, and though there are distractions here and there which blocks out the light every now and then(like the trees blocking the sunlight), we all still should remain firm and stay steadfast, shining God's light all the time. (:

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8
past 2 days. the devil has been prowling around my room, while i was doing my quiet time, he filled my head with thoughts, with temptations, to fall back into depression. it was a nostalgic sense, in a bad way though. i was just so drained. i kept asking God to guard my heart, but the devil was so strong. he knew that i was the most vulnerable now, and he's trying to attack. i need prayer.. i tell myself, i have to be like Jesus, who was tempted for 40 days in the desert, yet he didn't succumb to it. i cannot succumb to it, its just so tiring. God give me strength. first time since cebu that i faced this. spiritual battle, exact same feeling as cebu, and i remember i cried at that time; yesterday night i cried, tonight also. i'm really really drained. pray for me okay? thanks guys.

wow. i see there's a really heated discussion on my tagboard. i hope no one gets too worked up over this, after all, its only just different ideologies.
i guess i'll make my stand here. well, everything we do, glorifies God, if we're aware of it. even when we're excreting waste products from our body, we glorify God. breathing alone glorifies God, if we're aware of it. because God made us for His pleasure, as said in The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. He would love to see us get good grades. c'mon, you think you want good grades so you can live a better life, wouldn't your creator, the one who sent his only son to die for you, wish the same for you? i guess he wants to help you, only if you let him. we're weak by our own strength, so we rely on God when we're studying.
i admit, sometimes i go a little off track, and i think that i'm studying for my own sake. but thank God for christian friends, who remind me that whatever we do, we do it WELL for the Lord, instead of men. yeah. kenneth, about personal convictions, i guess that kinda thing can't be forced, can it? only God can convict you to do something. yes, even without God, i guess we'll still be mugging our eyeballs out, BUT, without the same fervour and passion.
i mean, who enjoys studying? some people la, like rachel lok(no offence), haha. but most of us don't. i used to hate studying. until i found that God takes pleasure when i do things well, so i work hard at it, and realised that i enjoy it! same thing goes. when your mom cooks lunch for you, she'll be glad that you enjoy the food right? and when you enjoy it and praise your mom for the wonderful cooking, wouldn't she be overjoyed? its the same with God. He takes delight when you enjoy what you're doing(the right things la), and you'll want to please him.
prelims are nearly over. hope all of you find joy in pleasing our Saviour. (:

even through this time of prelims, there is always something to learn from God. its just a matter of whether we want to open the eyes of our hearts, to see what God is teaching, or to be still and hear his voice. i guess many of you are facing unnecessary stress now. not that this is some kind of stress management post, but yeah, just would like all of you to see the christian perspective of it.
God is good, don't you agree? okay, you may not, considering the fact that there are times of difficulty and trials, but you should be rejoicing instead! at least you know he's putting you through this so that he can mould your character into becoming more and more like Christ. right? well i guess its tough, i couldn't rejoice during those times too, so yeah. just try to be happy.
stress management. before we get into any of these, i guess all of you may be feeling stress because of exams right? i don't think there's anything that could possibly stress you out at this period of time. well, the first question i want to pose to you is: what's your purpose of studying?
many of you study just for the sake of studying, or perhaps because education's compulsory in Singapore.. but how many of you ever thought of studying to glorify God's name? you maybe asking: how? if you study using your own strength, there's no chance for God to intervene and reveal his glory to you. but if you admit to God that you're weak and he's strong, and that you want him to help you in the exams, he'll do so. don't get me wrong here. i'm not saying that you shouldn't study, and go in the exam hall and ask God for help. he will definitely not help you. just do your best. God wants nothing but the best from you. so as long as you put in your best effort, be sure that he'll take everything into His hand from there. i'm not saying also that if you rely on God, you will definitely get good grades. i guess this all depends on God's blueprint for you. so if you do get a good grade, relying on God, all the more you can boast about the Lord your God, who has helped you win the battle over studies!
one thing that many people don't realise is that God is ever so near to them, and that they are carrying unnecessary burdens. whenever faced with a struggle or difficulty, they take it upon themselves and moan and groan in agony, not getting anything done. Jesus is saying to you now, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."(Matthew 11:28-30) why border carrying your own load when Jesus is willing to carry it for you? he wants to exchange his yoke for your burden! you have a heavy burden, he has a light yoke, why not change? God loves you so much, he wants you to be at rest in Him.
we often find satisfaction in alot of other things other than God. Satisfaction. where can we find true satisfaction? many atimes we try to seek other things, hoping we can get our minds off work for a while, and i admit i'm guilty of it too. but God is saying, "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare."(Isaiah 55:1-2)
just a lil' summary of this post:
-what is your purpose of studying?
-rejoice in tough times; God is moulding you.
-exchange your heavy burdens for Jesus' light yoke.
-satisfy yourself only with the living stream of life: Jesus.

God is wonderful indeed. the whole of yesterday, i didn't study because i was down with stomach flu. i kept throwing out what i ate. so i figured i shouldn't eat anything, and just go to sleep after medicine. and voila! the whole day's gone without any work done. yet i was still able to focus and do everything right during emath and ss today! really thank God.
one of my worst fears is on its way. today my dad had a car accident. an SBS bus turned out from its lane and scratched my father's car so much so that the whole front portion came off. THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY DAD. just the car, which suffered some casualties. is this a sign of more to come? i feel so weak and vulnerable now. my stomach's still a lil' queasy though..
